Cruel Fairy Tales [Series]
Ep.21_A Cruel Fairy Tale
[Adapted differently from the original work]
전정국
Anyway, I guess I'll just have to follow that girl.
박여주
That's right...
박여주
huh..?
The moment I gave up, someone looked at me from behind.
I felt a sharp gaze_
박여주
(what?..)
I looked back like that, but_
People were just passing by, no one was looking this way_
박여주
(What the... Am I being sensitive...)
전정국
What do you have, Miss Yeoju?
박여주
no!..
When I looked at Jeongguk again_
I didn't feel that sharp gaze_
전정국
Hmm?..
전정국
First, let's follow that girl!
박여주
yes
So I followed the girl named Karen with Jeongguk_
Looking at the girl, the heroine also stared at the girl without realizing it_
I got to see it in detail_
박여주
(Wearing old clothes... and worn-out shoes... he probably isn't from the common people)
When I think about it like that_
A girl named Karen walked to a house and arrived there.
박여주
Is this the house of that girl named Karen?
전정국
I think so
Jungkook looked around twice and then
Go to a corner where you can see Karen's house_
전정국
Miss Yeoju, come here
Jungkook gestured with his hand_
The female protagonist went next to Jeongguk_
전정국
After all, we are just extras.
He said that and then he took out a mirror the size of his face.
I rubbed the mirror once_
Then, the image of Jeongguk that had been there until just a moment ago became distorted in the mirror_
A place in a house was seen through a mirror_
박여주
What is this?..
전정국
A mere extra can't just barge into the house~
전정국
I have to see it this way
전정국
Anyway, this is how you can see the main character's point of view!
박여주
Oh, is this a new product?
전정국
Oh.. is that so?
전정국
Kim Taehyung must have confirmed this with Yeoju by now.
박여주
(So that’s why you came to me so quickly whenever there was danger?)
전정국
Let's watch this for now!
So Yeo-ju and Jeong-guk looked into the mirror.
[Karen's POV]
카렌
Mom, I'm here
엄마
Oh, Karen, are you here?
Karen was greeted by a woman with her ribs showing in a strange way at her words.
엄마
Where did you go today?
카렌
I went to the square!
엄마
square?
카렌
Yes! There are a lot of people tap dancing in the square these days.
카렌
It was really amazing.. how did he move his feet like that
엄마
Is that so?
엄마
If it's tap dancing, our Karen is good at it too~
Karen smiled at her mother's words, but it didn't seem like she was smiling.
엄마
...If Mom had money, she would have bought Karen some tap dancing shoes.
카렌
No! We decided to save up money and cure my mother's illness before moving!
So Karen and her mother continued to talk back and forth_
The sky was slowly getting darker.
카렌
Well then, good night, Mom!
엄마
Okay, okay, sleep well too, Karen~
So the mirror gets dark_
전정국
Um... the main character fell asleep
Contrary to my expectations, I didn't see anything special_
It's just that a girl named Karen really liked tap dancing.
It was a bit boring to watch it like this from a third-person perspective_
전정국
There's nothing special going on at night, so the fairy tale time will pass quickly!
전정국
About 5 minutes?
박여주
5 minutes... It takes longer than I thought.
전정국
It's a reduction of almost 8 hours, so 5 minutes is considered short!
박여주
So what do you do during that time?
전정국
Um... spacing out?
Jungkook speaks brightly_
I sat with my back against the wall behind me_
The female protagonist also had no choice but to go to Jeongguk's side.
I sat comfortably with my back against the wall_
And then Jungkook stared at Yeoju intently_
Started talking_
전정국
Miss Yeoju, what do you think about death?
박여주
Yes?..Suddenly?
I was embarrassed by Jeongguk's unexpected question, but_
Since I had nothing else to do, I decided to just answer Jeongguk's questions.
박여주
Hmm... the end? Fear?..
전정국
Is that so?
Jungkook seemed to be listening intently to what Yeoju was saying.
The female protagonist asked Jeong-guk back
박여주
What about Jungkook?
전정국
Um... I don't know
전정국
But from what I heard... some people say it's another life
박여주
(From what I heard?..)
The heroine found a bit of a contradiction in Jeongguk's words_
I didn't know what to say, so I just continued talking_
박여주
Are you talking about reincarnation?
전정국
Well... you could call it reincarnation, right?
박여주
But why did you ask this story?
전정국
I'm curious about how Yeoju would feel if she met him later~
박여주
I still feel like I'm dreaming like I'm dead...
박여주
I don't even know where I am and why I am like this
박여주
Even at this very moment, as I sit here like this
전정국
Well... you could think of it that way.
Jungkook is avoiding the base_
He looked at the female lead with an expression that said five minutes had already passed.
He smiled brightly_
전정국
Should I get up now?
전정국
It's a 5-minute rush, right?
Jungkook wakes up the female lead_
Time has already turned into morning_
Karen came out of the house_
박여주
Huh? It's out!..
전정국
Oh, really?
Was Jungkook trying to take out the mirror?
He took his hand out again from rummaging through his pockets_
전정국
Then let's chase after it!
I followed Karen again_
Ep.21_A Cruel Fairy Tale [end]
